The trend of retro sweeps through 2004 Spring / Summer focusing on the heart-touching makeup of 50's and 60's. It is not merely about how to be looked gorgeous, it is a mixture of dazzling colors and street fashion designs stirring up the new season makeup elements, a series of color eyelines, colorful smoky eyes, well-defined lips etc.

The shades of eyeliner are neither conventional black or brown nor the black line going up above the eyes at rear. What's in for the season is textured and shimmering eye colors, especially metallic eyeliner and eye shadows. Define the eyes with thick lines for night out, or fill up the eyelids and crease, with splendid colors to create smoky eyes. These vintage and modern looks become the coolest eye makeup of the season.

And fake eyelashes are a must to re-create the retro eyes. The colors and design are even more practical. Apply thickening, curling black mascara or use fake eyelashes to highlight the rear part of the eyes and match with pink eye shadows, rose blush and lip gloss for a minimal yet glaring retro effect.

At the time vintage returns, bright and glaring eye makeup is something should not be missed. Spring and summer are the season of colors and vitality. Romantic, ebullient and energetic are the senses associated with cheerful and glaring colors indicating the upcoming seasonal trend.

This sophisticated vintage is blown firstly from the fashion shows, models having a splash of sharp, matt eye shadows and subtle lips and blushes. This is a trick to avoid over application of colors on faces. Or do it the other way round. Plump the lips with orange, kissable pink or bright red and keep the eyes soft as nothing can be seen from within. Joyful color as it is, everybody can't help but envy with jealous!
